Right - One of the design flaws they suffer from. To be honest, SCLs are a bad

Today. At one point in (IMO, very distant) future, /usr/bin/perl would point to
/usr/bin/perl6 and the current /usr/bin/perl be renamed to /usr/bin/perl5.

Right, that's an effect of what I consider to be Fedora's short-sightedness.
However, lets stop this discussion - A review's BZ is not the right place to
discuss this.
